A staging system using the letters T, N, M is also used in conjunction with Grading. “T” indicates size of tumor; “N” whether the cancer has spread into lymph nodes; “M” whether cancer cells have metastasized to other organs and areas. For example, a melanoma T2N0M0 describes a skin cancer that is between 1.0 and 2.0 mm in thickness, but has not spread into lymph nodes or other areas of the body.

The first two told me it would be no problem to pour new concrete on top of our current patio, and then stamp and stain it. The last two quotes told me there would be cracking if we did that and they suggested demo-ing the patio and starting over (of course, this comes with a much higher price tag.)
